JAAFAR SADIG EL WAAD Poems
Beyond all Words
see not only the swooning eyes
Of the lover so deep and tender
listen not only to the sound
...
When a child I had unanswered questions
Some old man brought me from his fairy
Imaginations wondrous answers. Whenever
I repeated them taking Allah as my Witness
...
Where the shepherd entertains himself
The sheep fastly finds a way to freedom
to a no-ruler kingdom to play at random
well-equipped to devour and enjoy self-
...
History has nothing to do with happenings
It rather starts with burnt tents exiled men
Stolen treasure raped women leaving nix
But trampled dreams and broken creeds
...
Swoon on my lap tender
To wash my wound softer
Like an angel sent to ease
We'll stand firm to release
...
Born in the last decade of the old regime
Born a twain year before our unity to bear
All the flourishing devoid credos and pro-
phecies that foresaw our dark current futures
...
Tell me: how do politicians look at themselves
in the mirror: Do they have any, I do ask?
-They surely laugh like drunkards promising
to climb higher.
...
Don't be like that elephant that caused the infants
to slaughter one another indifferent to its posterity
he lifted the corrupt dropped the ripe and bullied
the resolute warrior
...

The Best Poem Of JAAFAR SADIG EL WAAD
Go Beyond
Beyond all Words
see not only the swooning eyes
Of the lover so deep and tender
listen not only to the sound
Of her musically luring voice
That still unveils her claws
But see and go beyond all swords
